Gun Room Aromas -- Hoppes #9 etc.

[Devin Wiggett]

I was thinking the other day while in the gun room how certain smells bring back good memories. For instance Hoppes 9 always reminds me of fall and getting ready for hunting season. Kroil just smells like how a man's gun room should.
Anybody else?

Old military gun solvent does it for me, good stuff!~ Wish I had 5 gallons!

My gun room smells like FREEDOM!!!!!!!

There is nothing like the smell of burned gun powder early in the mornings to clear ones mind. Wish I could bottle that smell.

Five or ten shooters shooting three grains of Bullseye & whatever that smoky wax bullet lube was on 38 Special wadcutters on the basement range of the local police dept. with no exhaust fans every Friday night.

Haven't smelled any Hoppe's for years, but remember the change from the original formula smelled different enough to notice.

The smell of Federal paper hull shotgun shells as they are ejected from a trap gun.....the memories that smell brings back.

I prefer the old Winchester Ranger paper hulls.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

A whole firing line of shooters burning n133 in the heavy dew first thing in the morn

I love the smell of gun smoke in the morning.

I always shot AAs on the 16yd line, federal papers on the 27.

Arguably the only thing in the world that smells better than this in a gun room is bacon which also goes well with guns.

 

[SEM]

BlueDot does it for me

 

[PopCharlie]

Hoppes and Kroil for sure. How about ballistol?

From the title I thought someone had dropped their gun into the outhouse at hunting camp.

 

[snert]

the subtle smell of light oil on a 177 pellet fired from a springer.

or if you suffer from allergies, a fired paper hull.

Hoppe's does it for me. Can't wait to get back to the shop and pop the top on the bottle.

Hoppe’s #9 used to be my favorite. Now it’s G96.
